Dossier Ambery Cherry

Powerful and Insatiable. Tom Ford’s Lost Cherry (the scent that inspired Ambery Cherry) was released in 2018 as a new addition to the brand’s Private Blend collection. Just one sniff of the luxury fragrance that Ambery Cherry is inspired by, and you’ll get a candy-sweet scent of luscious black cherries mixed with the aroma of fresh tobacco. It’s one of the first food-inspired perfumes to come out of the brand’s luxury beauty line. And it’s a good one, too! It smells exactly like a sweet, delectable treat, coated with a shimmering layer of sweet, sticky syrup. Tom Ford’s Lost Cherry is a mainly amber floral fragrance, with the dominant flavors being sour cherry, bitter almond, and liquor. It’s a combination that makes it feel very sophisticated, memorable, and utterly unique compared to other fragrances out there. The fragrance opens with a sweet aroma: A haze of sugar, salt, and sweet musk atop a bowl of rich, dark cherries. It’s nothing less than a full-on sugar bomb. The top notes vie for the attention of the senses. But as quickly as they came, within minutes, the fragrance almost immediately settles into a darker, albeit still sweet experience. At its heart, you’ll discover a black cherry cordial of sorts. It’s fragrant and delicious, like the dark, sweet liquid that oozes out from biting into molten chocolate treats. Nearing its base, Tom Ford’s Lost Cherry transforms into a much smoother, warmer scent, letting its more floral and woody notes take over. An accord of sandalwood, cedar, vetiver, and vanilla musk draws the fragrance to a lovely and comforting close. This is a very well-rounded, warm gourmand scent. This fragrance is very appropriate to wear during the fall and winter because of its vanilla and woody notes that last long enough through the long, cold days. The fragrance isn’t too overpowering either, making it a great evening scent to wear on a date or during dinner.
